We will certainly continue our methodical method to detecting a swimming pool heating unit by checking out what to do when the light in the command pad on the best of your Sta-Rite pool and also spa heater that is labeled “solution heater” is lit. (We will http://www.techne.com wage the assumption that you understand every little thing from sector one.) This time around you will should remove the sides from the heater before disconnecting power to the heating system so that you can read the codes on the board connected to the topside. After eliminating the sides, you will certainly view the large topside that is still hooked up to the heater. Here the topside is a steel panel that keeps the topside in place. Under this panel there are 2 securing pins (wedge pins). Carefully take out both pins and also store them someplace protected up until reassembly. Gently eliminate the top as well as turn it inverted. You will certainly see a light lit on the board you are checking out when you turn the topside over. The light will certainly be close to a code that is composed on the board.

The initial code that you'll view on the left side of the board will be PS. This is the code for the tension button. We covered the stress switch in segment one. If this light is lit return to section one and also assess that segment. If necessary follow the directions to change the tension switch.

The next code you'll view on the board is HLS. If you have a controller on the system you will should bypass it right now. You will certainly have to very carefully separate the power from the heating unit. After you make certain that the power is disconnected, you will need to find as well as open up the high-voltage closet. This cabinet is a metal box in the center of the heater. If you are looking at the cupboard, there is normally a screw on the top appropriate side. Release the screw and also the door will certainly turn down toward you. You need to be incredibly cautious when operating in this box as well as only do so when you are sure that the power to the heating system gets out.

You will have to bypass the firewall program security user interface. To do this you will certainly require a short cord with stab-tab connectors. If you have a controller and also it was properly mounted the cable may have been left in the box by the tech that mounted the controller. Otherwise you will should make this jumper cable. At this point search in your proprietor's manual to find the two correct pins to link to. If you have a controller or are making use of a fire fighter's button this is where your control must be hooked up. If you have a controller and also it is not attached here, maybe the source of your problems and also either have an accredited tech remedy the trouble or fix it on your own.

You need to make sure not to put the jumper wire on the power terminals or you will certainly damage your heating unit by burning up the digital system. Usage your handbook to locate where the firefighter's button is supposed to be affixed and also meticulously attach your jumper in between these terminals. If you now turn on the power as well as the heater functions without any issues, your trouble hinges on the controller or the wiring going to the controller. You will should problem shoot this device.

If you still have the very same issue with your heater. (“service heater” light begins), leave the jumper in position as well as verify that the pump is on and that you have great water circulation. See to it again with your meter that the pressure switch is not cycling. It must check out as a dead short. (See section one) With good water circulation validated and the “service heater” light on, your trouble might be among the thermo-regulators in the safety system.

Since we began this with the indicator light on the board lit beside HLS, the very first thing we are visiting examine are the cords going to the higher restriction button. The high restriction button is found near all-time low on the left side of the water manifold as you admit. To view it you need to take out the side cover on the water manifold. The screw that holds the cover is on the top of it. You need to make sure that the orange cords visiting the switch are in one piece, attached and not rusty. If the wiring is good, use your multi-meter to inspect that the high limitation button reads as a dead short. If it reads open and the water is not over 104 F, change the higher restriction switch. If this does not fix your problem you might have a bad control panel and it will certainly have to be replaced. Testing the control panel is an extremely engaged process as well as will certainly be managed in a later section.

This is the end of sector 2 and has taken you through component of the security circuit in the heater and 2 of the sign lights on the board. We will certainly continue on with our methodical diagnose of problems on the Sta-Rite swimming pool and also medical spa heating unit in the following segment.
